Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 41 Arrangements Before the Holidays
After Zhao Xin comforted Lu Shoushan and Pan Xiucheng, he got up and left the tent.There was no one outside the tent at this meeting. Zhao Xin estimated that Wang Yuanfang and the others should have gone to lunch.

He walked not far from the east gate of the camp and took a look, that Yarha was gone.

Zhao Xin sauntered to the material storage point again, and saw Ping Tai, Sheng Haizhou, Li Ji and other people checking fur goods.This fellow couldn't help but sigh: "I can't take this fox skin with me. I was caught smuggling the skins of protected wild animals and sentenced to several years in prison."

As for those red deer skins, don't even think about them, they are endangered wild animals.

After thinking about it, there is no good way to do it. He can only wait until next year to go to Nagasaki to see if it can be dealt with.

Zhao Xin felt that he was busy these days and had no time to spare. It seemed that he would have a good rest for a few days when he went back to the Spring Festival.

With his hands behind his back, he hummed a little tune and swayed around the camp all the way.When the refugees saw that their immortal was in a good mood, they all bowed and saluted with a smile.

Zhao Xin nodded all the way and came to the tent where Wang Yuanfang and the others lived.

Zhao Xin lifted the curtain and saw that all six people were there.

"Okay, there's no need to call, just as you are all here, let's talk about something first."

Liu Sheng and the others were lying down chatting and resting.When they heard this, they all sat up.

"Yo, Mr. Zhao is here to inspect. Everyone is welcome." Ding Guofeng teased.

"Haha." Zhao Xin smiled, he noticed that Wang Yuanfang and the others scratched their scalps from time to time, so he knew it.

Zhao Xin coughed twice, stopped talking, and looked at everyone with a serious face.

When everyone sees it, isn't something big going on?He stopped laughing and looked at Zhao Xin.

"Let's report some sad news to you first." Zhao Xin said with a feigned pain.

"What's wrong?" Liu Sheng asked suspiciously.

"You..." Zhao Xin looked around, and his tone changed: "Hey, are your scalps itchy?" As this fellow said, he raised his hand and scratched his scalp twice.

Several people were stunned for a moment, and unconsciously scratched their scalps a few times.Especially Wu Siyu, who has the longest hair.

"Don't say it, it's been a little itchy for the past two days." Wu Siyu said.

"Yeah, I went to the kitchen to ask for some hot water to wash my head just now when I came back. But now Mr. Zhao said, I'm a little itchy again." Deng Fei raised his hand and scratched the head of his pot.

"Okay. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the company. We all have lice!"

"Ah?!" Wu Siyu screamed and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Under the education of Zhao Xin, the island refugees in the camp can still keep a certain cleanliness.Those who come back from work every day know how to keep them clean with cold water or by boiling a little water on the stove in the tent.

"Lu Shoushan and the others?" Wang Yuanfang suddenly realized.

"That's all?" Seeing Zhao Xin's schadenfreude laughing, Liu Sheng scolded and pointed his middle finger.

"I didn't joke with you, the Spring Festival is coming in a few days, won't you go home?" Zhao Xinle asked suddenly after a while.

Several people are stunned, yes, it's time for the festival.

But thinking about the situation here, they all fell silent again.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Xin said: "You five have been here for a few days. I have not asked a question. To be honest, everyone is a friend. I will not force you. If you want to continue to stay, I will Raise your hands and welcome; if you feel that it is not suitable for you and want to return to China, I will also send a severance package."

When several people heard this, they all looked at Zhao Xin.

"I'll stay." Wang Yuanfang raised his hand. "I still do odd jobs when I go back. Mr. Zhao, I remember the story you told me, the platform. I think this is the most suitable platform for me."

"I still want to go to Yangzhou to see." Wu Siyu scratched his scalp and said.

Deng Fei said with a smile: "If the squad leader doesn't leave, neither will I. Besides, I'm gone, Mr. Zhao, where are you going to find the crew? Just rely on Liu Sheng, hey, I really don't look down on him."

"Damn, how dare you look down on the second officer!" Liu Sheng scolded with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao, where is the metal processing factory you said?" Zhao Liang asked curiously
Zhao Xindao: "Across the strait, there is an iron ore with a reserve of [-] million tons, where the future industrial base will be placed. It is also our first foothold after going north next year. It is also an excellent ice-free port. From there, the refugees who arrived came ashore."

"Go to the island country to pick up people? Then what?" Several people asked curiously.

"Then we will gradually go north, gradually nibbling away the most fertile Sanjiang Plain, turning the swampy plain there into a granary. With food, there will be more population, so we can move on to the next step." Zhao Xin's tone was firm and unacceptable. question. "We don't occupy this place, and it will be taken away by Tsarist Russia in the future. Therefore, we must occupy it."

Zhao Liang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back and find someone this time to see if I can bring a few more people together."

At this time, Ding Guofeng, who had been silent, suddenly asked Zhao Xin, "Mr. Zhao, are you planning to oppose the Qing?"

"Take one step at a time, and talk about the future in the future." Zhao Xin really doesn't think about it that much now. He mainly thinks about the gold mines in the outer northeast, and then he will buy some antiques back in this era.

He didn't answer Ding Guofeng directly, but looked around at a few people, and continued in the tone of the company boss: "Whether we can do it depends on whether every step we take is solid. Everyone, we are not playing games. Able to restart; these people outside are not NPCs, allowing us to ignore their lives.

We failed and could slap the butt and run back to modern times.But what about these people?What will happen to the refugees we receive in the future?This is a responsibility, a heavy responsibility.Since you choose to stay, you must carry it. "

"Understood. Build high walls and store grain." Liu Sheng concluded.

Ding Guofeng said a little embarrassedly while scratching his hair. "To be honest, although I said that I would stay with you at the beginning, I actually still had a play mentality. I felt that based on my experience in the army and security, it was not easy to capture. But after hearing what happened to Lu Shoushan and the others yesterday, I went back. After thinking about it in the middle of the night. I think, even for the two children of the Xu family, I have to continue to work..."

Deng Fei said with a smile: "Do you think you thought about it last night? I also didn't sleep well all night."

As soon as these words were finished, Wang Yuanfang, Zhao Liang and Wu Siyu also responded together.

After Ding Guofeng waited for everyone to discuss, he raised his hand and clenched his fist and said with gritted teeth: "Sooner or later, I will tie up that Liu Luoguo and hand it over to the Xu brothers for disposal."

"Down with all the reactionaries." Liu Sheng suddenly said this out of nowhere.

Wang Yuanfang and the other five looked at Liu Sheng, pondered for a while, then turned to look at Zhao Xin, and said together, "Let's do it."

Zhao Xin nodded. He first talked about the company's treatment, so that everyone would not have to worry about it. As for everyone's salary, it would have to be discussed separately later.

"For the force, we still use the name of the project security department first." Zhao Xin looked at Wang Yuanfang and said, "Brother Wang, you should be responsible for this."

"No, no." Wang Yuanfang quickly declined. "I'll take care of the training. Let Liu Sheng come."

"Monitor, what are you kidding?" Liu Sheng stood up and shouted. "With you here, why can't you let me come."

Zhao Xin watched the two arguing with a smile, but did not speak.In his heart, he hoped that Liu Shenglai would be in charge, and that Wang Yuanfang could lead the team in daily training and actions.After all, the five of them were not close friends for Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xin didn't want to pin his head on someone else's belt.

Seeing that Liu Sheng spoke louder and louder, and Wang Yuanfang said that the blushing and thick neck did not agree.

Zhao Xin had no choice but to stop it, and decided directly.Liu Sheng is temporarily in charge of the project security department, and Wang Yuanfang is in charge of training and commanding operations.The other four help Wang Yuanfang, and when there are more people in the future, the division of labor among the four will be determined.

Zhao Xin, Mr. Zhao, has become the current chief in charge.

"Our faction should have a name." Wu Siyu suggested ambitiously.

Several people looked at Zhao Xin.

"It's called the 'Eighth Project Engineering Department' to the outside world. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later." Zhao Xin said after a little thought.Yes, this fellow is a contractor.

The other six, who were originally ambitious, felt a chill in their hearts at this time.

What a lousy name!

However, several people looked at Zhao Xin's unpredictable smug look, and always felt that this person in front of him must be holding something bad.

Moreover, Mr. Zhao now combines financial hegemony with military hegemony, reads the most books, and has the highest education.Even if a few people are contemptuous in their hearts, it is not easy to speak out against it.

Liu Sheng proposed that he should stay at the camp during the Spring Festival.The reason is that he is currently bare, and even if he goes back, he will just go to Zhao Xin's house for a New Year's Eve dinner, and there is nothing else to do in the rest of the time. It is better to stay behind.

Zhao Xin himself has to prepare for the land reclamation materials and the purchase of ships after the spring, and the most important purchase of weapons during the time he goes back.

The task Zhao Liang got was to go back to clean up his closed factory, dismantle the equipment, and pack the boxes.Find suitable candidates to join and inspect mining and smelting equipment.

Wang Yuanfang's task is to purchase draught horses.Yes, Zhao Xin, taking into account the current road and traffic conditions, proposed to purchase horses, and priority was given to drawing horses.One is that it can be used to carry supplies, and the other is that it can also be used to reclaim wasteland in the future.

As for the war horse, I will not consider it for the time being.We will wait until the new camp is established in the future.

Wu Siyu's task is to inspect the colors and prices of modern silk in the south after returning home, so as to prepare for the trade activities in the coming year.

As for Deng Fei, he proposed to go back and recruit some mechanics from the cargo ship.

Finally, it was Ding Guofeng, who decided to recruit technicians together with Deng Fei.

Zhao Xin finally made a concluding speech. In view of the heavy workload in the future, the holiday fee for this Spring Festival will be charged to everyone's card after returning to China. As for material procurement costs and round-trip transportation costs, the project department will reimburse by ticket.

And Liu Sheng wants to stay behind during the Spring Festival, and his share will be temporarily purchased by himself for the festival.

Liu Sheng suggested that instead of doing this, it would be better for everyone to act together tomorrow morning and go to the city to purchase Chinese New Year supplies.No matter how much he eats canned food and pickled vegetables every day, he can't bear it anymore.

Zhao Xin proposed that when he got to the city, he had to go for a haircut and take a bath first, otherwise he would have to bring everyone home with a head of lice.

This remark drew unanimous cheers from the six people in the tent.
